Good video - thanks. I've ridden the peaks once on a trek rail and found the bike too much of a lump on many of the technical ups. This looks better. Your bike seems quite than Will Greenfields' bike , but that might be a difference in your recording equipment ?! What bike was your mate on? He seemed pretty quick.
I think Will tweeks for the sound (and doesn’t like noise - he’s just changed his brakes from MT to SRAM for that reason rather than changing the pads 😂).
my mate was on a giant reign, 170mm travel, factory suspension, real nice bike and yes hes pretty quick. No motor rattle on mine although i probably wouldn't have heard it over all the rocks smashing my rims and downtube 😀
@bikemad @bikemad he didn't!! He took a spare battery in his back pack, he used his 750wh up and maybe a third of the other one which I think was a 500wh. His 750wh battery isn't great, it's not at 100% health and runs down alot faster than normal so that was a factor in him taking a spare battery.
I changed everything on mine bar the front wheel and shock which I’m changing for a coil! I thought I had different stem on mine?🤔 I need to check as I removed it straight away and put a hope one on!👍🏻
Out of interest which shock are you going for? I’ve been in contact with a dealer and also Amflow and they don’t recommend the Fox DHX, Fox say they don’t like their coil shocks to be used on bikes with a yoke link as it potentially causes premature wear however I am waiting for the the review by robridesemtb to be posted to see what his thoughts are from the custom build that he built up.
@stuartrobertson2890 I'd be more interested in a genuine amflow owners opinion who's bought everything with their hard earned cash than what Robridesemtb says. Nothing against Rob as I like his content but you get what I mean 🤷
@@dave_waudbyI get what your saying however £600 outlay on a shock that Fox say isn’t suitable for a yoke suspension bike could be a costly mistake and as he was trying one it makes sense to at least listen what he has to say
When I contacted Amflow they said the bike was tested with ohlins and rockshox, I questioned why not Fox as both their bikes have Fox front and rear, the technician was going to query it with the design department but I’ve not heard anything back yet.
Not sure what's going on with the elusive rattle, seems some rattle and some don't. It'd make more sense that something other than the motor internals are causing the rattle such as cables or something that could be slightly differently assembled with every build, surely the motor assembly is a constant and pretty much each one is identical 🤷
That’s literally miles better than my EP8 on those trails in this weather. I range tested it flat out (in turbo) when the battery was new and I was quite fit at Dalby Red (so less challenging by some way for a battery) and got 30 miles and 3000 ft. It has a 630 kwhr battery and is bolted into a SC Bullit. Very impressed!
Great video Dave, I’ve not seen any of these bikes here in the Lake District yet. Looking forward to seeing one in the flesh soon. 😉
I'll be up there on mine as soon as there's a decent weather window, its my favourite place in the uk to both ride and hike. ❤
@ Ah, nice one Dave. Forecast looks ok next week lad. 😉

How much battery did yr m8 have left?@@dave_waudby
Also which power mode did yu use?
@bikemad @bikemad he didn't!! He took a spare battery in his back pack, he used his 750wh up and maybe a third of the other one which I think was a 500wh. His 750wh battery isn't great, it's not at 100% health and runs down alot faster than normal so that was a factor in him taking a spare battery.
👋 Merci. Une belle vidéo 👍

Fantastic vid mate , been thinking of buying one . Seems to me the high end bike rattles and yours doesn’t…

Good ride lads, that porsche not up there anymore 😂
🤣
How'd you find the dropper, i swapped mine out because it was arse
Awesome! I bought this bike for exactly this sort of ride, do you have a route to share? Cheers!
@s4mmyd1980 I've replied to one of the other comments with a link to my mates strava so you'll find it there. 👍
Do you have a strava link for ride?

this is ride my mate recorded, my garmin missed abit😖

Although the dji motor is very powerful they seem to have made it quite efficient aswell, pretty impressive.
36 was the defacto single crown fork for gnarly stuff for years . Its plenty capable for a bike like the Amflow
